I was fifteen months old, a happy kid…．until the day I fell．It was a 1 fall．I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to make it blind．Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched(缝合)the eyeball together where it was 2 , leaving a big ugly scar(疤痕)in the middle of my eye．The attempt 3 , but my mother, in all of her wisdom, found another doctor and the doctor said that if the eye were removed 4 , my face would grow up badly ditorted(扭曲), 5 my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me．As I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways 6 me．
I walked with my face looking at the 7 so that people would not see the 8 me．Yet my mother would say to me, at every turn, “Hold your head up high and 9 the world．If you hold your head up high, it will be OK, and people will see your 10 soul．” She continued this 11 whenever I was trying to hide．
Mother’s words were of great help for me to face the world 12 ．As a teenager, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they 13 me．In high school, I was 14 both academically and socially．I was 15 elected class president．My mohter’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them 16 the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes, even if they couldn’t see it on the 17 ．
Now I’m a happy wife and great mother．The message “Hold your head up high,” has been 18 many times in my 19 home．Each of my children has felt 20 value, and the gift my mother gave me has lived on in another generation．
Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble．His arrest 1 as many questions as it has answers．Top of the list is 2 should happen to Saddam now, closely 3 by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction．
He is currently being held by 4 troops at a secret place．The US says he will stand trial for his cruel actions during his years in 5 ．This is likely to take place at a court 6 two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council．The council's president Abdul Aziz al-hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(处死)if 7 guilty(有罪的)by the court．And the US 8 this．
“I think he ought to receive the 9 punishment for what he has done to people, ” said US president George W．Bush, 10 directly stating that Saddam should be put to death．
However, many 11 , including Saddam's long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court． 12 Britain, American's closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam's execution．
The UN Security Council has yet to 13 its position clear．But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan 14 say that“the UN does not support a death penalty．”
Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see 15 the US and Britain can find the 16 weapons they gave as the 17 for the war in Iraq．Asked if Saddam's capture(捕获)could 18 a breakthrough(突破)in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “ 19 obviously that possibility there．But I think we should 20 what we're doing in Iraq．”
